Look good, don't they? This is a shot of David filling one of a batch of jelly donuts that we made to bring to my mom's
on the last night of Chanukah. They poofed up nicely (after some doubt as to whether the yeast was alive), and fried up a
nice golden brown. Unfortunately, they turned out dry and somewhat cardboard-like. The recipe sounded wonderful (it was from
the New York Times)--it has orange zest and sour cream in it--but I'll just chalk it up to experience, and return to another,
more successful jelly donut recipe I made a couple of years ago. I just have to remember which recipe it was. One side note:
the leftover donuts were yummy the next morning toasted up and spread with a little butter. Butter on donuts? Someone get
Paula Deen on the horn!
